wow, haven't been this excited about a thread before,
first, to state the obvious:
-DON'T CLIP! (very rarely acceptable).
-learn to synth. FUCK PRESETS. we could all use more originality (if you go by the theory we are all a produkt of our experience). Plus, synthing gives you a whole new understanding of sound architecture.
-As far as strings go (being a cellist), get some actual samples or make your own recording with actual string players. MIDI STRINGS BLOW ASS. (same with piano and most classical instruments)
-EQing is an ART. Learn the techniques, practice, and then make it your own. Learn to think stylistically with the track. some bands go for muddy as does some EDM.
-LEARN TO LISTEN CRITICALLY. step back. get multiple perspectives. being too close to a project can be damaging.
-Oh, and DEFINITELY MORE COWBELL.
